Fighting for Hope

Fighting for Hope

The rain is splashing, clouds race and the trees sway
Like every morning it is for hope I pray
Strong hope be reloaded and of light some part
For this I wish, to soothe my broken heart

It is a struggle to wear at least a smile
And if it shows it hardly stays a while
Salty tears hidden, they burn in my eyes
Outdoors the raindrops fall from darkened skies

Always I hoped and fought against despair
Wishing that our home again we could share
Those dreams now fade, reality seems done
Except the known yet always distant final one

The battle against turmoil inside of me
My daily chore, since strong for him I’ll be
Pain tears my heart apart and I know yours too
We had no time to prepare but must cope, though

Fight is rather insane, faith as a sign post
With all of my heart I aim for this trust
To remain a support so that we both cope
And we nourish that feeling, this only HOPE
